Reporting power headroom information
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for reporting PH information. One apparatus is configured to receive an uplink resource allocation for a first TTI on the first serving cell, wherein the first TTI overlaps in time with multiple second TTIs on the second serving cell, where the apparatus is configured with a first serving cell having a first TTI length and a second serving cell having a second TTI length, and where the second TTI length is smaller than the first TTI length. The apparatus is further configured to calculate PH information for the second serving cell for a third TTI associated with a third TTI length that contains the first TTI on the first serving cell and transmit the PH information in an uplink transmission on the first TTI on the first serving cell.
1. A user equipment (“UE”) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE apparatus to:
receive an uplink resource allocation for a first transmit time interval (“TTI”) associated with a first serving cell having a first TTI length, wherein the first TTI overlaps with multiple second TTIs on the associated with a second serving cell having a second TTI length, wherein the second TTI length is shorter than the first TTI length;
calculate power headroom (“PH”) information for the second serving cell during a third TTI associated with a third TTI length that spans the first TTI associated with the first serving cell, wherein the third TTI length is longer than the second TTI length, and wherein the PH information corresponds to a virtual PH based on the third TTI length; and
transmit the PH information during the first TTI on associated with the first serving cell.
2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein to transmit the PH information, the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE apparatus to transmit a power headroom report (“PHR”) medium access control (“MAC”) control element (“CE”).
3. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the reported PHR MAC CE comprises a PH information for the first serving cell, and wherein the PH information for the first serving cell is computed based on the uplink resource allocation.
4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the length of the third TTI is greater than the length of the first TTI.
5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the third TTI is equal to a subframe.
6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein to calculate the PH information for the second serving cell during the third TTI, the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to calculate the PH information for a subframe containing the first TTI.
7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the third TTI spans multiple second TTIs associated with the second serving cell.
8. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the PH information is calculated based on a predefined reference format.
9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the PH information is calculated based on no scheduled to physical uplink shared channel (“PUSCH”) transmissions during in the third TTI.
10. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first TTI length is equal to a slot.
11. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the multiple second TTIs associated with the second serving cell has a shortened TTI length that is less than 1 millisecond.
12. A method of a User Equipment (“UE”), the method comprising:
receiving an uplink resource allocation for a first transmit time interval (“TTI”) associated with a first serving cell having a first TTI length, wherein the first TTI overlaps with multiple second TTIs associated with a second serving cell having a second TTI length, wherein the second TTI length is shorter than the first TTI length;
calculating power headroom (“PH”) information for the second serving cell during a third TTI associated with a third TTI length that spans the first TTI associated with the first serving cell, wherein the third TTI length is longer than the second TTI length, and wherein the PH information corresponds to a virtual PH based on the third TTI length; and
transmitting the PH information during the first TTI associated with the first serving cell.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein transmitting the PH information comprises transmitting a power headroom report (“PHR”) medium access control (“MAC”) control element (“CE”).
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the reported PHR MAC CE comprises PH information for the first serving cell, and wherein the PH information for the first serving cell is computed based on the uplink resource allocation.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the length of the third TTI is greater than the length of the first TTI.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the third TTI is equal to a subframe.
17. The method of claim 12 , wherein calculating PH information for the second serving cell during the third TTI comprises calculating the PH information for a subframe containing the first TTI.
18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the PH information is calculated based on a predefined reference format.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the PH information is calculated based on no scheduled a physical uplink shared channel (“PUSCH”) transmissions during the third TTI.
20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the at least one of the multiple second TTIs associated with the second serving cell has a shortened TTI length that is less than 1 millisecond.
